Requires hospitals to ask patients about immigration status and report numbers to the government.
This bill would make hospitals that get government money ask patients about their immigration status on forms. Hospitals would then send reports every three months with total patient immigration numbers to two government departments. If hospitals do not follow these rules, they could lose their government funding.
Today, hospitals that get government money do not have to collect or report patient immigration status. If this bill passes, these hospitals would need to add immigration status questions to all patient forms. They would also ask for proof from lawful permanent residents. Hospitals would also send reports every three months with total patient immigration numbers to the Departments of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security. If they don't, they risk losing federal funding.
